Former Gate City mayor indicted, but not anyone from the registrar's office

The Roanoke paper reports here on the indictment of the former mayor of Gate City on multiple counts of election fraud.

The article says:

"Willie Mae Kilgore has been accused in a separate lawsuit of running the registrar's office in a partisan way, and her role in the 2004 Gate City elections was cited recently when she was asked to resign by the candidate running against her other twin son, Del. Terry Kilgore, R-Scott County.

Yet Joel Branscom, the Botetourt County commonwealth's attorney who was appointed special prosecutor in the case, said the investigation to date has found evidence to support charges only against Dougherty.
